America: I came here to study, not to show mercy.

Chapter 35 Spend the money and then have $1234.56 left
The first weekend of school.

Li Xiaoen got up very early, studied for an hour and a half, then went out of the dormitory area and ran two rounds along the paths. When he returned, it was already half past nine.

Take a shower, fry an egg, put lettuce and ham on it, put some toast on it, and a simple breakfast is ready.

"Sean, you're up so early on the weekend?"

Daniel came down the stairs with his shoulders drooping, his hair messy like a chicken coop. He walked slowly to the long sofa and fell down on it.

"Did you do my share, Sean?" Daniel's muffled voice came from the direction of the sofa. It was hard to imagine how he made it.

"Unfortunately, no."

Li Xiaoen replied with a helpless smile, putting the last bite of the sandwich into his mouth, "To be honest, I really didn't expect you to get up so early."

You know, he moved into the dormitory a week before school started, and Daniel moved in two days later. In those days before school started, Daniel slept until noon.

Now that school has started, I have made some progress.

"If you're really hungry, you can make some cereal or cocoa balls. I remember we still have some."

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to do it."

Daniel sighed, turned over, lay on his side facing the TV, and turned it on with the remote control.

"Just a few days ago, someone swore to me that he would exercise, build a perfect body, and attract thousands of girls."

Li Xiaoen put on his shoes and couldn't help but be amused by the scene. "Three minutes of enthusiasm, and within two days, your true colors are revealed again?"

"Those who are only enthusiastic for a short time and focus on something for those three minutes are better than those who don't even have the courage to start, right?"

Daniel admitted frankly, "I practiced for half a day yesterday and my muscles are sore. I'm going to take a day off."

"Okay, whatever."

Li Xiaoen shrugged and opened the door. The sound startled Daniel so much that he jumped up from the sofa.

"Sean, you're going out again? Where to?"

"I'm going to the supermarket to buy a new pair of hiking boots, some dry food, and other things. The club is having a hiking activity next week. By the way, I'll also fill up the refrigerator in the dorm."

When Li Xiaoen first arrived in America, he only stored a small amount of fresh food or fruit in the refrigerator. Unexpectedly, Daniel filled the refrigerator to the brim on the first day he moved in.

Here, they seem to feel safe only when the refrigerator is full, even though the things inside can stay frozen for a long time.

"Do you want to buy anything? I'll bring it back."

Li Xiaoen turned around and looked at Daniel, "Coke? Potato chips?"

"No, I don't want to drink Coke!" Daniel reacted and shook his head quickly.

I've been working out for three days and not for two days, but I still care about this carbonated drink.

Li Xiaoen laughed in his heart, "Then I'll buy some corn, chicken breast, steak, etc. and try the diet of a fitness person for now."

"Do you need me to go with you?" Daniel asked.

"No, aren't you having muscle soreness?" Li Xiaoen looked at Daniel mischievously.

"hey-hey……"

There was nothing to say to this lazy guy Li Xiaoen. He closed the door again and walked towards the parking lot at the school gate.

As soon as the car started, a light curtain appeared in front of me.

[Medium Virtual Universal Card: After use, it can be converted into any virtual card of medium quality (currently available options: Study, Sports, Employment)]

【Current deposit: $5291.76】【Do you accept?】

accept!

Li Xiaoen made the decision subconsciously, then turned around to look at the two new rewards.

A medium-level universal card, just like in the game, no need to overthink it, it's this deposit doubling card...

Let you spend almost all your money, and then give you a double card. Is this how the system works?

Without further hesitation, Li Xiaoen drove to the nearby town called East Hanover.

After seeing the magic of the advanced sports card and experiencing the training-enhancing effects, he was more inclined to the virtual simulation card than to money.

Daniel's deeds are an example. When doing anything, you may encounter various problems, even obstacles such as your own physical fitness and professional training guidance. Just one card can ignore all these unstable factors, conduct special training through virtual simulation, and finally give feedback to yourself - this is a thousand times more powerful than directly giving time.

As for money, he didn't have such a strong desire since he already had enough food and clothing.

After filling up the gas tank on the way, Li Xiaoen arrived at the destination and went straight to the DJI drone store with minimalist decoration and spacious space. He spent $1171.88 to buy Skydio2, and his savings reached 4059.88.

To reach the goal, you must spend another $2825.32.

Li Xiaoen quickly figured it out in his mind, looked around, and decisively went into a clothing store.

He had already thought of the plan while driving here - apart from the hiking shoes he had already decided on and the food to fill the refrigerator, which would not exceed $800, the remaining nearly $4000 would be spent on other things.

First, consume large quantities of high-priced goods, and then make up the difference by spending the remaining change on various goods with decimal places such as 99 or 89 in the supermarket.

Apart from the drone he bought first, other electronic products were not considered. Li Xiaoen then turned his attention to the clothes on his body - it was time to change these clothes that cost less than fifty dollars.

I wonder if changing my clothes and putting on expensive new clothes will make me more attractive?

Li Xiaoen was secretly thinking in his heart when a young white woman in a black uniform and a hip skirt came towards him.

"Hello sir, do you have any plans to buy clothes in advance?"

"Um……"

Li Xiaoen glanced at the various styles of clothes on the hangers and simply threw the question to the other party, "With a budget of $2000, can you help me put together a few sets of clothes? Casual styles will do."

The shopping guide was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded repeatedly after he realized what was going on.

……

In the fitting room, the cell phone suddenly lit up. Li Xiaoen picked it up and took a look. It was a message from Victoria.

└Sean, are you free today? ┐

└Could you please deliver the gift I left at your place? ┐
└I learned a new way to brew coffee, and I'm using you as my guinea pig (-ω-｀)┐

Victoria doesn't look like a girl who likes playing basketball.

Li Xiaoen looked at the message and pondered in his mind, then simply typed a reply.

└I’m busy now. Wait until I get back. Probably in the evening. ┐
└You're not in school? ┐
Seeing Victoria's quick reply, Li Xiaoen simply took a photo of the floor-length mirror and sent it to her.

"..."

This time, Victoria didn't reply for a long time. Just when Li Xiaoen was about to put the phone back into his pocket, she finally responded.

└Mr. Sean, your aesthetic makes me sad┐

Li Xiaoen: “???”

└This was chosen by the shopping guide. ┐
Li Xiaoen replied quickly, the key point is, he thinks it's pretty good.

Mr. Sean, remember Oscar Wilde's words; perhaps they will help you: "Only superficial people don't judge a book by its cover."
Victoria responded quickly in the chat box.

└Now, please take off this disaster suit and let me save you. ┐
"..."

Did Victoria, who made the cute face expression earlier, say this?
Just as Li Xiaoen was lost in thought, a video call came in.
